History

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was first occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, and then by Germany until 1944. In July 1941, the Germans expelled the entire population, and then destroyed the village. After the war Skupowo was rebuilt.
